Chapter 76: No matter what happens, my brother always has a caring side(1/3)
Amami Nanami heard the footsteps, turned around, looked outside the bedroom, and said to Sakakibara Raku on the hospital bed:
"Sister has made the porridge, it's coming soon."
"Yeah." Sakakibara raised his body.
"Brother, you are so lucky to have two beautiful twin girls taking care of you."
"...Actually, Qi Mingyue, you didn't do anything, right?"
"How could it be? I helped my brother hold the sheets." Tianhai Qimingyue deliberately said these words seriously.
Okay... to a certain extent, this is indeed considered care.
"Also, brother, remember to be kind to yourself. You falling down is something no one wants to see."
"This is Qimingyue. Are you feeling sorry for me alone?" Sakakibara laughed.
"Don't get me wrong, I just don't want anyone to make fried rice with potato chips for me."
"Really?"
......
"I lied to you."
Tianhai Qimingyue turned her gaze to the side again, lowered her head slightly, put her hands on both sides of her legs, sighed as if giving up, and continued in a voice without any emotion:
"No matter what, you are also Qi Mingyue's brother, do you understand?"
For a moment, the Seven Bright Moons in the Sky gave Raku Sakakibara the illusion of gentleness.
Something's wrong, isn't she a scheming little devil?
Why does it seem like he suddenly changed into a different person?
"Brother, do you think Qi Mingyue has changed?"
"...how did you know?"
"You can tell by looking at his expression. And Qi Mingyue hasn't changed, but now I think that my brother, as a patient, needs more or less care."
Before Sakakihara Raku could say a few more words to her, Amami Kuriuri took a bowl of porridge, knocked on the door carefully, and stuck his head out.
"I didn't disturb your conversation."
Tianhai Qi Mingyue tilted her head slightly, then held her chin and nodded: "Sister is so polite, she has to ask about such a trivial matter. Well, she is indeed Qi Mingyue's twin sister."
"I always feel like you are teasing me again, Qi Mingyue."
"Absolutely not. Qi Mingyue loves my sister with all her heart - even if she is only five minutes older than me."
Amami Nanamigetsu said, moving her position so that her sister could sit next to Sakakibara Raku.
After Sakakihara Raku heard that Amami Kuruuri was coming in, he took the initiative to lean on the bedside.
When she came in, he looked sideways and saw Tianhai Jiuliuli holding a small bowl of porridge in his hand, wearing an apron, and two bunches of bright flaxen hair hanging slightly past his shoulders.
With a serious expression, she sat down where Nanamigyue was just now, and then looked at Raku Sakakibara, who was already leaning up.
"I just chilled the porridge for a while, and it shouldn't be too hot now."
Jiu Liuli said, slightly stirring the porridge twice with the spoon, and then wanted to reach out to feed him.
Hearing her soft voice and Nanami Mingyue's gaze, Sakakihara Raku was a little embarrassed to be fed by his sister: "I'll eat it myself, so I won't bother you."
Tianhai Jiuliuli took back the bowl and chopsticks: "But brother is feeling very uncomfortable now, right? There is still sweat on your forehead and your face is a little red. The doctor said that brother, you have no physical strength. It would be bad if you accidentally spilled the porridge on the bed.
”
"So...?"
"So I feed my brother."
"..."
Sakakihara Raku wants to accept it, but resists it for no reason... in short, it's very awkward.
Tianhai Qimingyue poked her head out next to Jiu Liuli: "This is my sister's angel service. No man can enjoy it yet."
"Qi Mingyue, don't talk nonsense, you are just taking care of your brother."
"Well, does my sister dislike Qi Mingyue for disturbing our two-person world?"
"What, what kind of world for two! Don't talk nonsense, be careful, I will slap your forehead later!"
"Oh, besides flicking your forehead, sister, what else can you do?"
"I'll even press your head and flick your forehead!"
"Sister is so scary~"
The two sisters fought for a while, and finally Tianhai Qimingyue used crutches to leave the bedroom on the pretext of "not disturbing her sister" and closed the door.
Before leaving, she glanced at her frail brother and her sister who was preparing to feed him.
Qi Mingyue, you are definitely snickering in your heart, right? Absolutely!
Sakakihara Raku guessed that she didn’t want to see the next embarrassing scene—a scene that even he himself found embarrassing.
It’s not that I’m totally embarrassed. I should say I’m embarrassed and awkward.
He watched Tianhai Jiuliuli pick up the spoon, watched her scoop up the lean meat porridge with her own hands, and then blew lightly...
With the sound of "Hu~", Raku Sakakihara felt that his ears were about to soften.
Sakakihara Raku fully anticipated what would happen next. Jiuruli would put the rice spoon to his mouth, and then said softly, "Brother, please eat while it's hot."
Although he doesn’t know why he feels like he is Wu Dalang, Raku Sakakibara understands that he is not so sick that he can’t even move his hands.
"Brother, hurry up..."
"No, no, no, I'll just eat it myself."
Tianhai Jiuliuli put down the spoon he was about to lift, and his puzzled look was exactly the same as Qi Mingyue's: "Really no need?"
"Well, don't worry, it won't spill."
Sakakibara took the lean meat porridge she made from Kururi's hand and picked up the spoon. Because the bottom of the bowl was very hot, she had folded two paper towels and put them under it.
Sakakibara stared at the rice porridge in the bowl. The porridge was very ordinary preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Sakakibara guessed that it was because he had cooked it for them once in the morning, so they remembered the taste.
But this is different from the homemade preserved egg porridge. Jiuliuli's lean meat porridge is also sprinkled with some scattered raisins.
He has never added raisins before, but it shouldn’t taste bad, right?
With this thought in his mind, Sakakihara scooped up a spoonful of porridge and rice along the edge of the rice bowl, eating the preserved eggs and lean meat into his mouth with a little bit of raisins.
"How is it?" Tianhai Jiuliuli asked expectantly.
"...delicious." Raku Sakakibara commented after tasting it for a while.
"Brother, don't lie and deceive others."
"No, it's really delicious."
The mellow flavor of the preserved eggs is just a little bit meaty, and the subtle sourness of the raisins is used to neutralize it. The taste is completely delicate and comfortable.
Although the taste is a little lighter, the porridge is not too thick, and it can only be called average in terms of taste.
But just after eating this ordinary lean meat porridge, under her soft and kind gaze, the tear glands in the corners of Sakakibara's eyes actually trembled.
The sour and meaty aroma stimulated his taste buds, and he suddenly thought of the food he had been cooking for more than ten years. This was the first time, really the first time...
Alas, really, what happened to me?
Isn’t it the first time for such a beautiful girl to make food for herself...
Is it that important...?
"Is it really delicious?" Tianhai Jiuliuli asked.
"Well, it's really delicious."
Sakakibara nodded gratefully, scooped some more with a spoon, and put it into his mouth.
The calories of porridge and rice, the mellow flavor of preserved eggs and lean meat, the sourness of raisins... As you eat it one bite at a time, the taste is obviously bland, but it makes people want to eat more.
This is the first patient meal that the beautiful girl has made for herself. She made it by herself.
Tianhai Jiuliuli couldn't help laughing when she saw how delicious he was eating:
"Originally, Qi Mingyue always said that the food I cooked was not very delicious. Now that I have been studying with my brother for a while, my level seems to have improved a lot."
"At least I can hear comments about how delicious it is." She added immediately.
"Brother?"
"Ah...Sorry, I was just thinking about something."
"What's the matter? Can you tell me?"
"I said this is the first time someone has cooked for me alone. It was because I was sick and out of care. I was very touched...Does Jiuliuli believe it?"
"Sister-chan, haven't you cooked for your brother before?"
To be continued...
